threads in mapserv

[tim]

Hi,

the unix compile howto at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/compiling_on_unix
gives as an example ./configure --with-threads (as one of many options)
however the thread safe faq
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/thread_safety
says mapserver is /not/ thread safe.  Does this mean that the
--thread-safe switch should not normally be used or am I not seeing
something obvious here?  If so perhaps it should be noted in the howto.

Thanks,
Tim Bowden
